Do they all think salt is rare on the savanna?

Doughboy, rare relative to what? Saying "rare" does not negate the
fact that Homo was making tools on the savanna
2.6 million years ago. Ostriches, tortoises, and antelope are savanna
creatures and Homo was right there with them, proven by the tools.
Was each tool made and the maker then died from a lack of salt? No
matter how "rare" salt was, Homo survived on the savanna. The
archaeological record is continuous. Arm-chair theory does not trump
on-the-ground evidence.
